Letters Patent No. 94,728, dated September 14, 1869.

IMPROVED BROOM AND SCRAPER.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettere Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom lit may concern:

and useful Combined Broom and Scraper; and 'I do hereby declare the following to be a full and clear description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein- Figure 1 is a section of said combined scraper and broom, when inthe position for use as a broom, and

Figure 2 is a side view of the sam'c, in position for v making use ofthe scraper.

Similar letters denote the same parts.

This combined broom and scraper is especially adapted for use in stables, barns, and roadways, where materials accumulate in sweeping that become too compact and heavy to be pushed along by the broom, and require a scraper to move them.

My broom and scraper are also adapted to removing loose snow, and snow and Awater from sidewalks, steps, &c.

My invention consists in a broom, with a scraper attached to the head thereof, nearly at right angles to the projecting .cane or other material forming the brush, combined with a han lle, insertedat about fortyflve degrees to the plant` of 'the scraper, in order that l the brush or the scraper majT either be used in a sim- Be it known that I, I). ELLIOT, of the city and? Statdof New York, have invented and made a new ilar manner, by turning over the head with the brush and scraper.

This device is very convenient and durable, as the brush can be used for sweeping the surface clean, and

'the scraper for removing heavy accumulations, thus relieving the brush from the heavy work to which it has heretofore usually been put.

In the drawing- 5 a represents the head, I) the broom, and c the scraper, attached at rightrangles, or nearly so, to the broom.

The handle d is inserted in the head, as shown, so that the broom portion can be employed, as in g. 1, or the scraper, as in fig. 2.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ism

The combined broom and scraper, formed with the scraper attached to the head of the broom, combined with the handle inserted into the head, as set forth.

In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto set my signature, this 30th day of J uly, A. D. 1869.

D. ELLIOT. Witnesses:

GEO. D. WALKER, GEO. T. PINCKNEY.
